Arguments and Discussions On Use of Perso-Arabic

In almost all countries which use Perso-Arabic script, there have been discussions between parties about replacing it, often raising the concept of romanization. For example:

  • Tajikistan has implemented a Cyrillic alphabet instead of Perso-Arabic
  • Turkish people have chosen a Latin-Based Turkish alphabet, in part because the eight vowels of Turkish were ambiguously represented by only three symbols
  • Azerbaijan and Uzbek implemented Cyrillic, but have since switched to Latin alphabets.
  • In Iran, methods of romanizations like desphilic and Unipers have been invented.
  • Kurdish language has utilized a Kurdish Latin alphabet

Famous quotes containing the words arguments and/or discussions:

    The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.
    —C.G. (Carl Gustav)

    When I read of the vain discussions of the present day about the Virgin Birth and other old dogmas which belong to the past, I feel how great the need is still of a real interest in the religion which builds up character, teaches brotherly love, and opens up to the seeker such a world of usefulness and the beauty of holiness.
    Olympia Brown (1835–1900)
